Cincy Jungle
When the Bengals were struggling to run the football early in the season, a key reason why was the absence of tight end Erick All Jr. The Bengals’ fourth-round pick in 2024, All tore his ACL in Week 9 of his rookie season, and his absence has been felt.
Fortunately, though, All recently updated how his rehab has been going on FOX19’s “Bengals Now” show with positive news that should have him ready for the 2026 season. He actually plans to be cleared by the end of this season.
All is a player who is very easy to root for. He plays hard, and he’s a glue piece to a part of the Bengals’ offense that looked like it was gaining some traction in the early part of the 2024 season. It was interesting to see him have an impact on the offense, especially as a rookie in Dan Pitcher’s first season as the Bengals’ offensive coordinator.
Having him as a player who can run-block and pick up five yards every time he catches a pass is invaluable for a quarterback like Joe Burrow.
I’m excited to see what he can do in 2026, and hopefully, All can stay healthy for a full season. He can bring out another dimension in an already dynamic Bengals’ offense.
